Unlock the real Aruba

Queen Beatrix Airport is the perfect starting point for discovering the island’s diverse beauty. With a rental car, you can reach the powdery white sands of Eagle Beach in just 15 minutes. For a cultural escape, the vibrant capital of Oranjestad is only a 10-minute drive away. If you prefer the wilder side of the island, the desert landscapes and caves of Arikok National Park are roughly 25 minutes east, all easily accessible via the island's main highway network.

One Way Rentals from Aruba Airport

Pick up your car at Aruba Airport and drop it off at Palm Beach or Eagle Beach. One-way rentals are a popular way to explore the island without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more freedom for your Caribbean road trip.

Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.

Driver Age Requirements in Aruba

Can I rent a car in Aruba if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically start at 21 or 23 depending on the car group.

Can I rent a car in Aruba if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Aruba. While some providers may have upper age limits for certain models (typically around 75), most standard rentals have no additional fees or restrictions.

What is the best time of year to explore Aruba by car?

Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt, making it a fantastic year-round destination. The peak season runs from mid-December to mid-April, offering the liveliest atmosphere. The shoulder seasons (May to November) provide quieter roads and beaches while still maintaining tropical temperatures—your provider will be happy to help you plan accordingly for any seasonal events.

Essential Tips for Driving in Aruba

In Aruba, there are currently no toll roads, making island travel very straightforward. Using dipped headlights is recommended for better visibility, especially when entering roundabouts where vehicles already inside have the right of way. Remember that right turns on red lights are strictly prohibited. While winter equipment is not necessary in this climate, roads can be slippery immediately after a rain shower. If you plan to travel through the rugged fells of Arikok National Park, it is important to confirm the specific equipment provided with your rental at the desk; your provider will be happy to help you plan accordingly. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
